Can my small dog eat regular-sized kibble instead of small breed?

Question

Is it absolutely necessary that my dog eats a food that's formulated for small breeds or can she have regular sized kibble as well? I'm currently feeding her natural balance L.I.D. Kibble and they make small breed bites but only in certain flavors. I wanted to try the other flavors as well such as bison and venison but they don't come in small breed bites. Is this ok? The small breed bites are about the size of a pea and the regular kibble is about the size of a dime. she's 17 pounds. Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 17 lbs

This is a great question about Chloe. I do not believe it is necessary for her to be on a "small bites" food. As long as she is on a good, well balance food then a little large kibble is perfectly okay. Natural Balance LID is a great diet and as long as she is willing to eat the regular sized kibbles, then go for it! (p.s. I love cavaliers!)
